The New York Yankees today announced that they have signed seven players to minor league contracts with invitations to Major League Spring Training: C Francisco Diaz, INF Danny Espinosa, RHP David Hale, C Erik Kratz, LHP Wade LeBlanc, C Chace Numata and INF/OF Jace Peterson. Diaz and Kratz were in the Yankees organization last year and return in 2018 after signing new minor league deals, while LeBlanc is back with the Yankees after a brief stint with the club in 2014. The Yankees have also invited 13 additional players to 2018 spring training, bringing the total number of invitees to 20 (11 pitchers, four catchers, four infielders and one outfielder). Of the Yankees' 20 non-roster invitees, only five have accrued Major League service time: Espinosa (6 years, 106 days), Hale (1 year, 168 days), Kratz (4 years, 26 days), LeBlanc (4 years, 131 days) and Peterson (3 years, 3 days). The number of players now scheduled to report is 60.

"It is with great sadness that we learned of the passing of former Yankee Oscar Gamble. His prodigious power, unique style and joy in wearing pinstripes made him a favorite of fans and of the Steinbrenner family. In recent years, his appearances at Old-Timers' Day and work at our Fantasy Camp in Florida delighted those who got to reconnect with his personality and love of the game. Oscar was a treasured member of the Yankees family and will be deeply missed by our entire organization. We offer our deepest condolences to his family, friends and all who knew him."
